5-DAY CHALLENGE - DAY 2

Good morning. You made it through Day 1! Yesterday, when you thought about your favorite foods or coffee drinks (or caffeine), hopefully you prayed a simple prayer for those who have no options when it comes to what they will consume. 

As you start Day Two, be mindful of the fact that every year, 15 million children die of hunger (18,000 each day). For parents, this is inconceivable and unacceptable.

Scripture


Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. (James 1:27 NLT)

Reflection



What in your life feels like rules and regulations that are stripped of God’s love and compassion for others? How can you extend God’s love and compassion as you reach out and care for someone in need?

Pray



Pray for the mothers around the world who work hard to provide loving homes for their children and the children they have taken in due to the loss of their parents’ lives to HIV/AIDS.
